6.58

abhyarcya yaṃ dadāti so'bhipūjitalābhaḥ | taṃ jugupseteti nindedgarheta | ataśca ninditaṃ na samācaret | sarvaśaḥ sarvakālam | ekamapyahastādṛśaṃ bhaikṣaṃ na gṛhṇīyāt | uttaro'rthavādaḥ | nahi muktasya bandhasaṃbhavaḥ |

Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
‘Honorific presents’—what is given after due honouring;—this he shall‘disdain’—deprecate, shun; and what is deprecated he shall not do.

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

‘All’—at all times; not even for a single day he shall accept such an aims.

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

The second half of the verse is a purely laudatory exaggeration; in reality one who has been liberated can never be‘fettered’ again.—(58).
